Summary: What the heck happened to M. Night Shyamalan? He was such a great director. His stories were fascinating, sometimes scary and almost always thoughtfully rich with spiritual metaphor. In short, he was one of the best and brightest filmmakers in the industry. His films meant something. Then, it all faded away. But, to be honest, none of his previous bad films are as shockingly bad as The Last Airbender. Read Full Article

It frustrates me to no end that studios release these Blu's in single disc and "combo pack with dvd and digital version" editions thereby making you purchase the more expensive pack to get ALL the special features. There should be no difference to the Blu's yet the single disc lacks the Making of features, containing only the deleted scenes (the first of which was rediculous btw). Why force people to buy a combo pack? If I wanted the DVD I wouldnt get the Blu Ray! I have no use for the dvd or the useless digital disc. Keep the features on the Blu's the same!

Seriously, what happened to Mr. Shyamalan? The Sixth Sense and Signs were fantastic; even Unbreakable was decent. After that, his films just got worse and worse. The Village, Lady in the Water, The Happening, and now The Last Airbender. Were his earlier successes just flukes, or did he run out of good ideas?

Am I the only person that liked The Happening? Seriously...? I mean I agree most of Nights movies were pretty crap and The Happening did have some truly awkward acting to say the least, but I really enjoyed it. In fact I saw The Happening in a double play at the movie theater with The Strangers, and highly perfered The Happening to The Strangers.

When the reviews started coming in for the Last Airbender I was disappointed. I really liked the show so I decided to skip it's theatrical run. I ended up renting it mainly because there wasn't much else on Netflix that week that I was interested in seeing. Maybe it was the very,very low expectations that I had going into it, but the movie wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. In fact, Had there been maybe another 20 to 30 minutes of character development it would've been a really good movie. To be frank, I enjoyed it more than Jame's Cameron's Avatar. People who point out the fact that it's racist because they made the fire nation all middle eastern don't have a leg to stand on. For one, White people have been the bad guys in films like this for years and you never heard a complaint from anyone. Secondly, Anyone who watched the series knows that All four nations have potential for good and bad. The fire nation lived in harmony with the other nations for centuries. It was one person in that nation that started the war against the other nations. Would it had been more racist for the fire nation to have been asian like so many have said they should've been?

^ Look brotha, if you liked the movie, that's great for you. I'm not one of those people that demands people agree w/ me. And I also think that the movie would've benefited by being a 3 hour movie instead of a 2, but by the movie I mean the movie that Should have been made, not the one that was.

And as far as the "Racism", your only picking out one of about 100 issues people had with the movie. One that I personally didn't have a huge issue with either.

I had more of an issue with the Waterbenders not bein inuits/Eskimoes than the Firebenders bein Middle Eastern.

I had an issue with most of the names pronunciations bein changed. I had an issue with Sokka and Katara bein white.

I had an issue with the characters havin no substance or heart, with them not feeling like.. THEM.

I had an issue with Fire Lord Ozai bein shown so much and by much I mean AT ALL! I had issue with the movie feelin so rushed.

I had issue with... We could be here ALL DAY with the issues I had with the movie. It's safe to say that M. Night took an incredible series and took a #2 ALL OVER IT IMO.

But's that's just me. If you or anybody else liked it.. then at least somebody did.

Finally saw the flick, movie was absolute trash. I had low expectations going into it, after hearing the details leading up to it. How they expected to do a half decent job of shoving an entire season worth of material into a single movie is entirely beyond me. Not to mention the absolutely NEEDLESS changes made to the story.

Names being strained with asian pronounciations, fire benders that can't actually y'know, fire bend, an entirely half-assed bit with Aang and a "spirit dragon", the Avatar meant to be non-violent, all of it. He should have just ripped the idea of the show and pawned it off as an original work.

The race thing wasn't much of an issue for me, as the original show had perfectly english speaking people of all implied races, with COLORED eyes. Expecting them to be "racially correct" with their casting was a foolish expectation to begin with. All that aside, casting in general was trash. Not a single actor did a decent job, with line delivery ranging from forced to sleep-walking in it's tone.

M Knight never should have touched this, he brings his arrogance and pomp to everything he does, and it shows in his total disregard to the source material. This movie should not get a sequal, it would be doing more harm then good with all the continuity issues that have already been established. I don't think i've ever seen another movie that has made me feel like I wasted my time as much as this one.

I recently saw The Last Airbender on DVD and I must say that it is no doubt the worst movie, I have ever seen in my entire life. The show was so amazing in every way. It had comedy, sadness, and a great range of emotions. I felt that a director could not possibly fail, because he already had something to copy and turn into a great movie. Everything about the last air bender made me sick to my stomach. The acting was terribly. So bad that we had to turn off the movie before it was half done. The casting was also incredibly bad. When watching the show, I really felt a connection to the characters. The movie on the other hand, did not create and connection even when Aang went into Avatar state, which was always very emotional in the show. I can honestly say that M Night SHYAMALAN is a arrogant bastard that thought that his version of The Last Airbender was what viewers wanted to see. It broke my heart to see so much potential for a movie destroyed by his hands.
